The encapsulation is formed by an “oligomer complex”. Oligomer complex technology utilizes a highly hydrophilic polymer (dextrin) to encapsulate the active. Below is the schematic of the encapsulation:

Compatibility/Stability

Stability Test: BioGenic Bergenin-200

• Water solutions with BioGenic Bergenin-200
• pH was adjusted to 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0
• Testing conducted at 4°C, 25°C, 45°C, and 50°C
• Color/pH was monitored monthly for 3 months
• Use levels tested: 1%, 5%, 10%

Below are the results after 3 months stability. The samples are ordered from left to right: 4°C, 25°C, 45°C, and 50°C
